Publisher Description

With both the classic Spenser series and the more recent Jesse Stone novels, Robert B. Parker's spare prose and tight storytelling have earned him critical praise and popular success. In Family Honor, he creates an entirely new character - young, smart, and for the first time, female. Her name is Sunny Randall, a former cop turned Boston P.I.

Hired by a wealthy family to locate their teenage daughter, Sunny soon finds herself the bodyguard for a difficult teenager who refuses to return to her family. But before long, Sunny is facing greater problems than she ever imagined - including a criminal conspiracy that reaches to the top of the state government.

"I clearly like Parker. I have been wanting to read this book - the first of the Sunny Randall series. Sunny is pretty, cute, and not the kick-butt type that is featured by some authors - like Patterson's Lindsey Boxer who is fun to read. She uses her smarts and wiles to get the job done."

    " My ranking might have differed if I read the actual book rather than listening to the audio version. The audio book has terrible production that proved distracting. The book came out in 1999. Today's technology would change the way the story plays out. It was striking how often I thought "use a cell phone." "

    " Seemed at first to be a lady version of the Spenser novel Early Autumn, in the way the worldly detective schools the sullen and colorless teen, but that description sells it short. "

    " This book was published 10 years ago, and is the first Robert B. Parker novel about Boston PI Sonia (Sunny) Randall. Ms Randall is a female Spenser in many respects, but to this fan of Parker's earlier work, that's not a bad thing. She's tough but vulnerable, loves her dog and her ex-husband, and blows a bad guy away with a shotgun. What's not to like? Recommended. "

    " robert parker is a steady choice for a good mystery read. his main character, sunny, is an ex-cop turned private detective. her character is life-like and the story was fast-paced and just enough different from all the rest to make it worth reading. i hear he's written a few with sunny the p.i. so i'm going to hunt them up and read 'em.

    " I really liked the heroine, but I R-rated the novel for language and sexual content. You should know, although I'm pretty prude, this novel is graphic by most people's standards. "

    " This first book in the Sunny Randall series was a hard to put down read. Sunny Randall is a Boston P.I. and former cop, a college graduate, an aspiring painter, a divorcee, and the owner of a miniature bull terrier named Rosie. "

    " If someone hadn't given me a whole armload of Robert Parker books (in hardcover!), I never would've picked one up. This one has a really sinister family, but Sunny and her friends and of course her dog are really likeable characters. "

    " Good book quick easy read, I read it in one day. I loved the Boston references. Same author writes Jesse Stone mysteries and Spencer (for hire) as in the 80's TV series based in Boston about a private eye. Enjoyed the book will probably read a few more by same author. "
